Abstract:
A software application for recommending workforce resource allocation in a communication center based on requirements of events represented in a queue has a first interface for accessing information from the queue (1300), a second interface for accessing information from data source about workforce availability and state information (1302), a processing component for processing queue information and workforce information (1303), and a message generation and delivery component for generating a workforce allocation and recommendation based on processing results (1304) and sending the recommendation to a target entity (1305).
Abstract:
In a contact center, a system for processing communication events has an interaction server for managing events waiting to be routed, a routing server for routing the events, a rules engine, and a gateway server executing rules invocation logic and interacting with the rules engine. The interaction server tracks incoming events, initiates and sends a routing request to the routing server, including a special routing object, for each event that requires conformance to business rules, the routing server, executing the routing object, sends an execution request to the gateway server, which upon receipt of the request prepares a business object model (BOM), being a set of facts upon which the rules engine executes rules appropriate to the facts, resulting in routing direction for the routing server to route the event.
Abstract:
A ranking system ranks visitors to a Web site using one or more instances of machine-readable code executable from a digital medium accessible to a Web server. The code tracks visitor behavior while browsing the web site, and a visitor ranking module resident on the digital medium accepts information documented by the one or more instances of machine readable code and assigns rank values to one or more of the visitors. The ranking module ranks visitors at the Web-site based on logic and rules for interpreting visitor behavior and for applies a value to the visitor in real time based on that interpretation, and values applied at or above a preprogrammed level trigger solicitation of the visitor so ranked to engage in interaction including live assistance.
Abstract:
A routing system is provided for intelligent routing of instant messages between clients connected to a data network (61) and customer service representatives connected to the network. The system comprises at least one instant message server (15) and at least one intermediate server (25) connected to and addressable on the network, the intermediate server capable of routing and accessible to the instant message server. Clients connecting to the instant message server through instant message software assert a connection link advertised by the instant message server to establish bi-directional communication between the client machine and the intermediate server. In preferred application, the intermediate server interacts with the client for identification of client and client software. The client request is then routed to an appropriate customer service representative running compatible software according to enterprise rules establishing an active instant message connection between the client and the selected customer service representative.
Abstract:
A software monitoring and reporting application is provided for reporting presence information of networked entities in real time. The application includes a software agent for generating a presence information model; a data store for storing presence information tuples; and a monitor for detecting presence information updates and for synchronizing the updates with information in the data store. In a preferred embodiment the application is deployed and integrated to a communication center infrastructure wherein any given one or more of the entities may singularly or in plural spawn one or more agents whereupon the agents each spawn a container that is populated with current targeted presence and state information in most recent updated form and wherein the updates are synchronized with data in the data store.

Abstract:
A software application for recommending workforce resource allocation in a communication center based on requirements of events represented in a communication-center queue has a first interface for accessing information from the queue; a second interface for accessing information from a data source about workforce availability and state information; a processing component for processing queue information and workforce information; and a message generation and delivery component for generating a workforce allocation recommendation based on processing results and sending the recommendation to a target entity. In a preferred embodiment, the application periodically accesses the queue and the data source to obtain the most recent information for processing and generates periodic recommendations based on real-time requirements of events and availability states of resources, the recommendations sent ahead of time before the resources are required.
Abstract:
A pre-routing software system for treating incoming network events according to event importance prior to agent-level routing in a communication center network is disclosed. The system includes at least one network interface for receiving incoming events, a parsing engine for parsing electronic messages and documents, at least one communication interface for enabling communication with connected routing, queuing, and automated response systems, and a determination module for determining pre-treatment of received events. In preferred application, incoming network events are parsed according to a rules set and determination of pre-treatment is made for each event according to the rules set. In some embodiments, the system is used in conjunction with one or more virtual, priority-based queuing systems.
